Preston Bezant
Austin, Texas
Creative technologist. I use design thinking to build anything — firmware, front-end, IoT systems, production apps. 15 years from Figma to firmware, always the person who makes the thing, not just the spec.
I work best when the problem is ambiguous and something real needs to exist at the end of it.
Builder
Firmware, React, IoT systems, 3D-printed hardware, cloud dashboards. Full stack from idea to shipped.
Design Thinking
15 years of UX, systems design, and human-centered process. Makes what I build usable, not just functional.
AI-Native Workflow
Claude & Cursor as genuine daily tools. Ships faster without cutting corners.
Featured Work — StructureSense
Designed it. Then built it.
I designed the user experience, engineered the hardware, and shipped to a real client — solo. Three projects. One person. From 3D-printed enclosures to cloud dashboard.

Performance of Class C LoRaWAN library controlling DMX universe.
Design Challenge
Mission Control — Agentic Developer Portal
Six divergent design directions explored, one shipped. A full-fidelity React prototype for an AI-native developer portal — streaming agent traces, real-time execution, and PR review built for dev handoff.
Sense Engine — RTLS Operator Platform
The hardware existed. The data went nowhere. Three vendor protocols, 200 devices, 50,000 sq ft — and nothing a warehouse operator could act on. Built the platform, designed the interface, shipped it.
Hardware Product Design
THPO Sensor
Custom LoRaWAN environmental monitor with dual-variant 3D-printed enclosures — built for a 22,000 sq ft warehouse with no Wi-Fi and no ceiling modifications allowed.
Featured Projects
A rotating selection of recent work.
Mission Control — Agentic Developer Portal
Apple Design Challenge
Apple design challenge: end-to-end product design + working React prototype for an AI-native developer portal. Six divergent directions explored, one shipped — with streaming agent traces, real-time execution, and PR review built for dev handoff.
Sense Engine — Real-Time Location System
StructureSense
Multi-vendor RTLS platform built from scratch — BLE data pipeline, floor plan tools, 5 positioning algorithms, and operator-grade UI — deployed across a 50,000 sq ft warehouse in under six months.
TripChamp — UI/UX Style Guide
TripChamp
Led the UI/UX redesign of TripChamp's travel agent platform, creating a modular design system covering color, typography, grid, and responsive component layouts.
LoraManager2 — LoRaWAN Class C Library for ESP32
StructureSense
Open-source Arduino/PlatformIO library that unlocked true Class C LoRaWAN capability on Heltec ESP32 chips, cutting downlink latency from 45 seconds to under 5 for real-time actuator control.
THPO Sensor — LoRaWAN Environmental Monitor
StructureSense
Custom-designed IoT sensor with dual-variant 3D-printed enclosures for non-intrusive warehouse monitoring. 99% packet reliability across 22,000 sq ft.
FMS Smart Building POC — LoRaWAN Commissioning
StructureSense
Solo commissioning of a 25-device LoRaWAN smart building system across 20,000 sq ft — leak detection, occupancy, environmental monitoring, and automated garage door control feeding a live Datacake dashboard.
